Take less healthy liver, help preserve their future8,9

Successful management of nonresectable liver tumors is about more than what you remove — it’s about what you leave behind, too. The Emprint™ ablation system enables a minimally invasive procedure that provides immediate, repeatable results4 and can help lower the chance of recurrence.6 This procedure can also be combined with additional therapies and help you give your patients a more comprehensive treatment.8
